Can Giannis Still Team Up with Curry? Notable Reporter Reveals Warriors’ Owner Is Very Interested

September 23 news, as the Golden State Warriors focus on maximizing the value of Stephen Curry’s career in its twilight years, an NBA insider believes that the Golden State Warriors still have a chance to bring in another two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In a podcast for The Athletic, Sam Amick from The Athletic stated that the possibility of the Warriors trading for Giannis is “something to watch.” Amick said: “If the Bucks collapse, I think it’s always something to watch in the NBA. We know Joe Lacob has long dreamed of Giannis joining the Warriors. Although unlikely, Khris Middleton will become a free agent next summer… I think Giannis is someone to watch.” Speculation about the Greek superstar potentially transferring to the Bay Area has existed for years, especially as the mutual admiration expressed publicly between Antetokounmpo and Curry has further fueled these discussions.

After the Milwaukee Bucks won the 2021 NBA championship, their poor performance in the past three playoffs has sparked discussions about Antetokounmpo possibly seeking to leave. The Bucks gambled by acquiring eight-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard through a trade last season, but they still faced the disappointment of being eliminated in the first round for the second consecutive year in the playoffs. Antetokounmpo signed a three-year contract extension in 2023, which will last until the 2027-28 season, making any trade for this star forward difficult.

However, Amick believes that as the Warriors enter a new era in basketball, this remains a topic worth watching.
